Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 12 Father's Career

My father wears black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt on his upper body, and a pair of black trousers on his lower body. Although they are all cheap, they look elegant and tall; a pair of dark eyes are unfathomable, yet demure and indifferent .

"Dad, I'm back." Xia Xiaoluo called out.

"Oh." My father seemed to wake up from a dream, and put the book aside. The title of the book was "Social Transformation and Contemporary Culture", which was borrowed from the county library.

"Xiao Luo, how did you do in the exam?" There was a kindness in the tone, but there was a trace of majesty that could not be offended.

It is natural for a son to be afraid of rebelling against his father, otherwise how could he have an Oedipus complex?

"It's okay, my mother hasn't come back yet?"

"Stinky boy, you only miss your mother, and you don't miss me after I haven't come back for so long?" Xia Jindong joked.

In the previous life, my father had such a sense of humor, why did I never remember it?Alas, it is probably because his official career did not go well and he was depressed all his life. This natural optimism was wiped out by the difficult life.

Now that I have come back in this life, I can't let the tragedy repeat itself.

"Think." Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile no longer hiding her feelings.

"Your mother will take over for someone else's shift tonight, and she will be right back."

With a sound of "squeak", the door opened, Xu Xiaoman came in and saw Xia Jindong sitting on the sofa, frowned, and said, "You still know to come back?"

Xia Jindong made a face at his son, which meant "Son, don't laugh at your father", and explained in a low voice: "My wife, I'm sorry, don't you have to work?"

"Didn't Wang Junwei go on a business trip with you, why did you come back? He even drove his own child to take the exam. His son took the middle school exam, and he didn't even cook at home, so he could only eat in a small restaurant. Really."

Xu Xiaoman dotes on his son very much, it doesn't matter how much he suffers, but he can't owe his son a little.

Speaking of Wang Junwei, Xia Jindong frowned, didn't speak, and started to smoke, Xia Xiaoluo hurriedly smoothed things over, saying: "It's good to eat outside, it's full, it's good, it's nothing, don't talk about my dad. "

Xu Xiaoman pulled his son over and asked, "How is it? Did you do well in the exam?"

"Okay."

Xia Xiaoluo still said the same thing, he didn't want to make public too early, he felt that after the results came out, everything would be settled. If he was 15 years old in his previous life, he would definitely be unreliable and brag everywhere, but now he is 20 years older than his peers. Years of life experience, much more stable.

Xu Xiaoman asked expectantly: "Son, are you confident to be admitted to No. [-] High School?"

"No. [-] high school? It's good to be admitted to No. [-] middle school. Don't put too much pressure on him." Xia Jindong has always despised the theory of success. Tortured his son until he was neither a human nor a ghost.

"What do you know? My son is amazing now! Some time ago, he was No. 2 in the class in the mock exam, even better than Wang Junwei's son. He Shiyun, who is No. 1 in his class, admires him very much."

Xu Xiaoman said "my son", as if Xia Xiaoluo was born by her alone.

"Really! Son! So good?" Xia Jindong was overjoyed.

After the exam, it would take half a month for the results to come down. Xia Xiaoluo's tense strings suddenly relaxed. He began to think about his father. He had the impression that his father had gone downhill in junior high school. What does it matter? Although he graduated from a famous university, he was assigned to work in the health bureau of a small county.

It is said that high-level people rely on ability, and grass-roots people rely on relationships. He is not good at franchise and building relationships. He has been working as a stock-level cadre for more than ten years. Retired, depressed for a lifetime.

What exactly caused the situation to change?He decided to pay more attention to his father's work these days to see if there was any change.

The next day, Xia Xiaoluo was watching TV at home. When he was about to leave work in the afternoon, he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, made cold noodles, and fried a few side dishes. He was also a single old otaku in his previous life. It's within reach.

When my mother got off work, she saw the food and bowls and chopsticks on the table, and she exclaimed and smiled: "Oh, good son! You are so good, when did you learn to cook?"

Xia Xiaoluo said: "There is a program on TV that teaches how to cook. I watched what was said on TV and learned it. I don't think it is difficult." This lie does not bring a little blush, it is very natural.

Father got off work with a leather briefcase under his arm, and sat there anxiously as soon as he entered the door, without speaking.

Xu Xiaoman pulled his arm and said, "What's wrong with you? You lost your money? Look at the food your son cooked, try it, it tastes pretty good."

Xia Jindong said: "Annoyed! This Wang Junwei is doing nonsense!"

"What's the matter? Don't be annoying, just speak slowly." Seeing that her husband was unhappy, Xu Xiaoman's tone softened.

"A few days ago, Wang Junwei and I went to several medicinal material markets and pharmacies to secretly investigate counterfeit medicines. You know, we went to three markets, one of which was the Chinese medicine market in Luming Town. There were more than 20 stores there, more than a dozen Wang Junwei and I pretended to be medicine merchants to look at each stall, Wang Junwei is not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, his business is very poor, and he has no ability to distinguish.

Xu Xiaoman said: "Seriously?"

Xia Jindong said: "It's more than serious? It's shocking! I went to a stall and felt that Huang's color was a bit wrong. I smelled it and the smell was very light. I tasted it again and found that it had been boiled once, and the medicinal properties were lost; Asked how much stone honey is per catty, the boss fooled us and said that his stone honey is produced in the virgin forest of Yunnan, which is very effective in curing coughs. It was covered with moss, and the honeycomb would not come out early. Then I suddenly realized that it was made by house bees raised in sugar slices. After soaking in water, it was full of sugar water. Sell! Don’t be afraid to eat dead people!”

Xu Xiaoman said: "Hey, what am I supposed to do? Isn't it fake medicine? What would your market supervision department do without fake medicine? Just check it out."

"The problem is that Wang Junwei won't allow the investigation, and he won't let me report to Director Qian. He said that Luming Town is the hometown of Director Qian. The traditional Chinese medicine market in Huaishu Township was cut down."

Talking about the bureaucratic style of deputy director Wang Junwei, Xia Jindong was angry and helpless.

Having said that, Xia Xiaoluo's mind boomed, like lightning flashed, and what happened in the previous life flashed in his mind like a movie.

In my previous life, my father was ruined by the case of the traditional Chinese medicine market. At that time, after my father discovered that the Chinese medicine market in Luming Town was fake and shoddy, under the suppression of the deputy director Wang Junwei, he did not report it and did not rectify it. The traditional Chinese medicine market in the township was shut down. Three months later, the provincial health department made a surprise inspection and found that the traditional Chinese medicine market in Luoshui County was full of fake medicines. The county government and the health system have left a bad impression, so there is no hope of promotion.

Later, he was transferred to the Agricultural Bureau as a deputy director, and Wang Junwei successfully ascended to the position and became the official director. But before Director Qian left, his father was used as a scapegoat and his qualification as a deputy department-level reserve cadre was revoked.

No one in the previous life could understand Wang Junwei's wonderful move, but the self in the future can see it clearly, can he change history?

Now that I think about it, Wang Junwei’s move was really insidious. He used chicken feathers as an arrow, falsely preached an imperial decree, and deliberately left the traditional Chinese medicine market in Luming Town, which is full of fake medicines. Other officials thought it was Director Qian’s intention. The bureau chief's prestige was reduced, but in fact, the bureau chief didn't know it at all.

This is tantamount to leaving a ticking time bomb for Director Qian, and also pitted his father who is the most hopeful to compete with him, because it is impossible for Director Qian to move him, but he can move his own father. After taking office, he vigorously rectified Lu Ming. Township traditional Chinese medicine market, got a lot of money, but also achieved political achievements.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but he is reaping the benefits.

Later, when he became the deputy county magistrate, he had just entered college.

Xia Xiaoluo suddenly asked: "Dad, what do you think of Director Qian?"

When Xia Xiaoluo suddenly asked this question, her parents were stunned.

Xia Jindong said: "Why do you care so much about your child's family?"

Xu Xiaoman fell into deep thought, and said: "Old Xia, no, this matter is not right, what kind of personality is Director Qian? Although he has no culture, he does things relatively fairly, and he can even be said to be unselfish. Let's talk about housing allocation. Execution at the administrative level, no one is biased."

Xia Xiaoluo couldn't help admiring in her heart: "I didn't expect that my mother's political wisdom was even better than my father's. My father really read too much and was a little stunned. Although the theoretical level is very high, he still needs more training. Just call him more."

If Xia Jindong knew that the son on the other side was thinking about how to teach him and hone him, he would probably vomit blood.

Xia Xiaoluo said: "Father, I don't think this matter is necessarily what Deputy Director Wang said. It is not only protecting Director Qian, but also harming Director Qian. Did Director Qian specifically mention the traditional Chinese medicine market in Luming Town?" Woolen cloth?"

Xia Jindong said: "Before leaving, Director Qian said, 'Luming Town is my hometown, so I should communicate with the local township government'."

"Deputy Director Wang used this to deduce that Director Qian meant to keep the traditional Chinese medicine market in Luming Town? This is too speculative, Dad, Wang Junwei is trying to trick you and Director Qian!"

Xia Jindong squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought. He didn't come back to reality until the cigarette burnt out and burned his fingers.

He is not a nerd, he has read history books, and he understands all kinds of conspiracies and tricks in political struggles, but he abides by the conscience and sense of responsibility of intellectuals, and is unwilling to lower his noble head and chase after the smell like a fly , "It's not that I don't know, it's that I don't do it."
